World Cup 2026: BBC allow pundits to fly to US despite broadcasting in UK 400 miles away
BBC will cover 2026 World Cup from Salford while pundits fly to the US without travel subsidies.
BBC has confirmed it will host its 2026 World Cup coverage from Salford studios, citing travel distances and carbon‑footprint goals. Despite this, pundits will still fly to the US for the tournament, though the BBC will not subsidise their travel costs and can continue other media work during the summer. The decision follows reliance on Salford to maintain a UK‑based broadcast team 400 miles away from the matches. The move highlights the BBC’s effort to balance global coverage with sustainability commitments, while providing flexibility for pundits in 2026.
